Margaret Ann Catherine Hoyle was the fourth child born to Robert Henry Hoal and Cora Agness Gentry. They lived at 311 Berry where, today, McFerrin Park exists. There remains some indication of the houses which once stood there in trees which once surrounded them. Two years later, her little sister Bertha Ruth was born, but tragedy would strike in her third year. Margie's father, a carpenter, fell from a roof and was institutionalized for life. Less than a year later, Margie's mother would succumb to typhoid fever, leaving her 5 children as orphans. Margaret was raised by her mother's family until adulthood. She worked as a companion and caretaker, living in the homes of those she cared for. Along the way, she married Cecil Welch, who was found to be abusive and a drinker, and the marriage was annulled after four months. As she reached her senior years, she counted on public housing and assistance to survive. Because she was orphaned, when she applied for social security and public assistance benefits, she had to document her birthday with the best records she had and with the oaths of well meaning family, settling on 6 Mar 1912 as her birth date. After her death, a physician's report of birth was located in the Tennessee Archives for her from Nashville bearing her actual birth date of 12 May 1911. She moved into the newly built Parthenon Towers Apartments, near Centennial Park, just after they were built in 1975. She lived on the 19th floor of Tower 1, with a small circle of friends until her death over 20 years later. Her brother James survived her, he himself then living in assisted living and unable to visit regularly. Because she had no children or spouse when she died, the Social Services department of Metro Nashville relied on the information they had and were given by her friends, and her extended family was not notified of her passing. Social Services' Indigent Burial program provided for her final arrangements, and somewhere along the way her interment application was mislabeled as "Margaret Holye". Subsequently, her headstone was ordered with that error and remained so until January 2019, when Social Services corrected their error with a corrected stone.
